ADMINISTRATION   BUILDING. 

The  Administration  building,  erected  in  1905-06  at  a  cost 
of  $65,000.00,  is  a  large  imposing"  structure  of  brick  and 
stone.  The  walls  of  the  principal  rooms  are  tinted  and  fres- 
coed. The  large  chapel  is  one  of  the  handsomest  halls  of 
its  kind  in  the  state.  The  recitation  rooms  are  large^  sup- 
\)]\v(\  with  good  seats,  an  abundance  of  light,  good  ])]ack- 
boards,  and  other  conveniences  for  teaching.  The  scientific 
department  is  located  in  the  basement  of  this  building.  The 
laboratories  are  large  rooms  well  furnished  and  erpiipped. 
The  society  halls  and  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  Y.  W.  C.  A.  rooms 
are  attr-active  and  well  fui-nished.  The  entire  ])uilding  is 
heated   with   steam   and   lighted   with    electiicity.

is   healed   with   «as  and  lighted  with  electricity. 

Tne  Dormitory  is  the  best  place  for  boys  at  the  Wesleyan. 
The  testimony  of  the  Dormitory  boys  is:  ''lAve  with  the 
fellows,  and  you  will  never  regret  it."  In  the  Dormitory 
one  bed  room  is  always  reserved  for  any  old  student  that 
may  stop  in  Winchester  for  a  night.  At  Clark  Hall  a  genuine 
welcome  awaits  every  visiting  K.  W.  C.  student. 
^^M4here  is  no  Dormitory  for  girls  at  the  Wesleyan,  they 
in  ay  secure  boai^.  in  approved  private   homes. 

OUR    NEW    LIBRARY. 

Our  new  libraty  is  completed.  The  cost  pri^e  $i 5,000.00, 
was  a  gift  of  Mr.  Carnegie.  The  friends  of  the  Wesleyan 
contributed  $15,000.00  for  its  endowment.  It  is  a  beautiful 
stone  structure.  On  the  main  floor  are  the  stack  rooms, 
librarian's  room,  and  two  reading  rooms.  The  furniture  is 
of  first  class  material,  good  workmanship,  and  attractive  in

appiaiaiice.  On  the  basement  iiocrs  are  the  furnace  ]*ooni, 
unpacking-  i-ooni,  toilet  rooms,  and  a  large  i  oom  that  may 
l)e  used  for  an  additional  stack  room.  The  buildini>-  is  heated 
with  hot  water  and  lighted  with  electricity.  The  libi-ary  is 
inderd   a  valuable   addition  to  our  college  plant. 

Recently  the  library  has  received  several  donations  (»f 
books.  A  large  pai*t  of  the  private  library  of  the  late  Dr. 
Iv  II.  Pearce  will  be  placed  in  the  library  before  the  opening 
of*  college  in  September. 

TilK   PRh]PARATORY    DEPARTMENT. 

During  the  year  1906,  a  two-:stoi'y  brick  and  ston^  build- 
ing was  erected  on  the  campus  for  the  use  of  the  l^repai-a- 
tory  Dei)ar'tinent.  This  building  is  modern  in  all  its  ap- 
pointments; its  rooms  are  large  and  well  lighted  and  heated. 


THE  PRESIDENTS  HOME. 

This  l)uilding-  was  recently  purchased  by  the  l^oaid  of 
Kdncation  for  the  president's  use.  It  is  a  neat  frame  build- 
ing, conveniently  arranged,  and  well  located,  it  is  situated 
just  acioss  the  street  from  the  cami)us.  At  the  home  of  the 
I)j('sident,  the  students  and  friends  of  the  Wesleyan  are 
ever-    welcoiiie. 


TIIK    (JYMNASIUIVI. 

The  okl  gyiimasiuin  was  too  small,  especially  for  Uaskct- 
bnll  puiposes,  so  it  was  determined  to  provide  an  additional 
j^ymnasium.  J^ast  fall  the  ])ioom  plant  was  torn  down  and 
rebuilt  to  meet  our  <»ymnasium  neuls.  The  new  gymnasium 
is  a  concrett-block  buildinji.  Jt  has  a  fine  floor.  There  are 
two  dressing'  I'ooms  connected  with  this  building.  The  batii 
room,  equipped  with  shower  baths,  is  connected  with  th<? 
old  gymnasium.  The  old  gymnasium  is  equipped  with,  ap- 
paratus necessary  to  the  proper  physical  development  of 
the  students.  With  two  gymnasiums  the  M^esleyan  can 
surely  meet  all  reasonable   demands  for  physical  training. 


The  Kentucky~Wesleyan  is  well  located.  Winchester  is 
situated  at  the  intersection  of  three  important  railroads — 
the  Louisville  and  Nashville,  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio,  and 
the  Lexington  and  Eastern.  There  is  no  more  healthful 
location  in  Kentucky.  Winchester  is  one  of  the  best  and 
most  attractive  towns  in  the  famous  blue-grass  region;  and 
there  is  no  more  attractive  place  in  or  about  the  town  than 
the   Kentucky   Wesleyan   campus.     There   are   eight   acres   in

the    campus — athletic    field,    tennis    courts,    etc. 

The  Weslcyan  is  one  of  the  recognized  colleges  {)f  the 
state.  Fifteen  units  are  required  for  admission;  throuj^h 
college  courses  leadiut?  to  the  degree  of  B.  S.,  A.  B.,  and 
M.  A.  Tbe  work  done  at  the  Wesleyan  is  accepted  by 
leading  universities. 

Wesleyan  graduates  make  good;  fifty-six  business  mo)i, 
72  teachers,  45  lawyers,  22  physicians,  26  farmers,  5  drug- 
gists, 4  journalists,  6  college  presidents,  1  Y.  M.  C.  A.  scc- 
r-etary,  7  missionaries,  46  ministers.  Graduates  are  in  28 
Slates  and  6  countries.  Ten  graduates  this  year  make  the 
total   number   three   hundred. 

The  Wesleyan  is  especially  interested  in  those  preparing 
for  the  ministery  and  other  Christian  service.  In  addition 
to  the  regular  college  courses,  it  offers  a  four  yearns  course^ 
in  the  English  Bible;  also  a  cour*se  in  Sunday  School  and 
Christian  work  methods.  Many  appreciating  their  value  take 
th(!se   courses.     The   Bible   course   is   required. 

The  college  is  also  intensely  interested  in  the  education 
of  prospective  teachers.  Successful  teaching  demands 
thorough  preparation.  There  is  an  increasing  demand  foi' 
college-trained  teachers,  especially  is  this  true  in  connection 
with  the  High  schools.  This  year  the  demand  has  ])e(n 
greater  than  the  supply.  As  an  incentive  to  prospective 
teachers    to    secure    more    thorough    preparation,    the    recent

StatT  of  the  Kentucky  Wesleyan  and  Student  Volunteer  Band. 

Under  supervision  of  the  faculty  Wesleyan  teams  are  per- 
mitted to  take  part  in  the  intercollegiate  athletics.  The 
various  teams  made  a  reasonably  good  record  during  the 
past  year.  There  is  promise  of  greater  interest,  activity, 
and  success  next  year.  There  is  a  fine  opportunity  at  the 
Wesleyan  for  students  desiring  to  take  part  in  athletics.

Kentucky  Wesleyan  College  is  a  Christian  institution — 
not  a  sectarian  institution.  Its  professors  are  Christians. 
Wholesome  moral  and  religious  influence  is  brought  to  bear 
upon  the  students.  Christian  students  are  stimulated  to  seek 
the  highest  development  of  character  and  perfection  of  life; 
non-Christian  students  are  encouraged  to  accept  Christ.  The 
object  of  the  institution  is  to  provide  distinctively,  Qhrimiau 
education.  The  Christian  college  stands  -^Or  "the  complete 
development  of  the  student ;  body,  mind,  and  soul.  Believ- 
ing the  religious  element  essential  to  true  education,  Ken- 
tucky Wesleyan  College"  provides  for   the  same. 

T^:  college  has  just  closed  a  very  successful  year,  the 
next  session  will  open  September  8th,  1915.

THE  PREPARATORY   DEPARTMENT. 

The  completion  of  the  eighth  grade  is  required  for  ad- 
mission. The  preparatory  course  is  equivalent  to  a  first- 
class  High   school   course. 

The  teachers  are  competent  and  experienced.  We  are  for- 
tunate in  securing  Prof.  D.  H.  Lyon  to  assist  in  teaching  in 
this  department  next  year. 

Parents,  contemplating  sending  children  away  from  home 
to  secure  High  school  training,  would  do  well  to  place  them 
in  the  preparatory  department  at  the  Wesleyan.  The  ex- 
pense will  not  be  greater;  the  advantages  will  be  much  greater.
